Sorry folks - it seems I have caused offence by posting a link to an auction for something masquerading as an item of WWII uniform, when quite clearly it was not.
This item was not mine (thank goodness), and I certainly was NOT touting for bids on it!
It seems I have misunderstood the...
Hiya Paul
I bet your waist is there somewhere!! You're being modest!!!
I'm pretty - erm..... "voluptuous" - ahem :o - so after years of struggling and breaking my heart over 40s fashions I've sort of drifted into late 40s (New Look) and early 50s - with the waspie waists etc.
I've got...
Hi Jess - sounds like you have your hands full!!
I go for:
Wide leg slacks (plenty in the shops at the moment)
Twin Sets (Short sleeved sweater and cardigan)
Puff-sleeved blouses with a button collar or sweetheart neckline
Vintage inspired shoes (round toes, wedges, ankle straps -...
Ride out the enquiring looks - enjoy your interesting status!! They go with the territory - I've had several odd looks in Asda (erm... your Walmart!)... Enjoy being different!!

I'm in total agreement with you Angelicious - I'm a 42E and have the same problems!!
Keep your eye on Ebay - quite a few "Doreens" come up for grabs on there - on the UK site.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm .... well, I take a UK 7 aswell Maisie. Most charts tend to indicate that this is a US 9/10, but most of the vintage 10s I have bought from ebay tend to "nip" a bit after a few hours, or be tight across the bridge of my foot - ouch! :(
I don't have a particularly narrow foot...
Hi Gals!
Only just spotted this - I'm still new and finding my way around!
I've had three pairs of wedgies from Phil at Remix. I've found them all very comfortable - but I do tend to find they run a wee bit long for me, so I tend to size down.
Honestly though - I haven't found anything...
Hi Fleur - I just recently purchased an open bottom corselet from shapelyfigures.com (don't laugh!! lol ) - it comes to a couple of inches down the thigh (where I REALLY have trouble), but also sits pretty high up on the waist. I'll post you the link through. Also - have you had a look at the...
Hi Fleur!!
Welcome - another Limey!! ;)
You sound like me in approach to clothes etc - I scour the shops for retro inspired, and have repro garments custom made - when I DO find an original to fit, they are faaaaaaaaaaaaaaar too precious to wear for every day!
Look forward to hearing...
Hi Matt!
The next Doctor's dress sense is rather more "timeless" - you'll see what I mean when you get the next series with David Tennant.
If you're still on the Eccleston series, look out for the WWII two-parter! Some good fx, and - as Rick says - some pooky-ooky moments!! And - okay -...
Hmmmmmmmm....... I've had a good mooch, and it looks like you're right - I can't seem to find any US sites selling the Triumph range. However - I'm not a whizz on the internet, so I may have missed something. Will have a hunt!

Yes, I'd second that one. I have a few "Doreens" (White, Black, Pink), and they're really smashing. They also do a long-line bra which can meet a panty-corselet and give a good outline.
My original bras (I only own a few - its hard to find my cup size), all fasten to the front with hooks...

Hi Jess
Just for sheer "drool" factor - it has to be the glorious Marsha Hunt hardback, "The Way We Wore" (Deco Doll mentioned it also).
It really has been my bible, and bedtime reading!! My hubby produced it for Christmas a few years ago - I'm so glad he did as the price of it these days...
Well.......... I'm a bit of a dumkopf with the pc, but as soon as I fathom how to load piccies, I'll pop a couple on!
You know, Mysterygal, there's nothing to stop you renewing your vows, or having your relationship blessed - that would surely call for a vintage gown!
